The end of 2021

 

          It's almost over. Jumping a leap to another year they say. But what was 2021 like, and what will 2022 be like?

   All of us were waiting for a cure, we were still staying home. Some people had to work from home while others had to quit. By February, a vaccine started to arrive. Everyone was in line as it was given to people who need it more. Some people wouldn't get vaccinated while others well...pray for some of them.

     The 'Karen' Fad started to grow in popularity Starting around 2020, it's about a woman with a certain haircut, being loud, opinionated and thinks she's right. Now a days...there are board games and even a movie depicting of a Karen in a neighborhood. There are some people that act like it, and in 2021, it was still around like Covid, and barely any woman is now named Karen.

   Summer Olympics in Tokyo were pushed back to this year. Around the summer, they had a small ceremony, and most of the sports were a little.... different. How? Some of the events took place in different hours in a different time zone. Some of the countries didn't compete due to Covid.

  

        USA won the most gold with 39. Mostly thanks to the gymnastic team. Simone Biles had to leave since her aunt died suddenly. Another tested positive for Covid. It didn't stop them, as well as swimming and other aerobics teams as well

    There were disasters from floods, to fires, and tornados and hurricanes. Bushfires in Australia, devistating rainfall in most of the US, Hurricane Ida destroying most of the coast (especially Louisianna) Covid still going strong everywhere, people not wanting the vaccination while others are wanting to stay alive.

 

  Losing a lot of famous people along the way in 2021. Like Ed Asner, Hank Aaron, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Ned Beatty, Dustin Diamond, Charles Grodin, Hal Holbrook, Art LeFleur, Larry King and many more.

   With sadness does come happiness. Not only have we found a vaccine, but some people are getting back to normal. Even if Covid isn't completely gone, it doesn't mean we can't stop seeing love ones, going outside and even adventuring when you can.

  So....what will 2022 give us? Will it give us happiness? A better cure for Covid? Nobody knows. Sadly, I feel it'll be like 2020 part 2, but then again, something good will happen. Not knowing what will happen, we always want a better year to replace the year we had. 

    This will be my last post in 2021. I will be back, but with my 2021 experience, I had good times, sad times, and in between. Had to deal with a death, wondering how long my love life will last. But till then 2022, we're ready for you.
